Faster
Energy is transferred directly to the cookware, there is no wasted heat,
resulting in extremely fast heat up time - even faster than gas.
Cleaner
An induction cooktop only gets hot under the bottom of the cookware. The
area around the cookware does not get hot, so drips, spatters and spills don’t
bake on the induction cooker surface. Simply wipe with a damp cloth –
cleanup is a breeze.
Safer
There are no open flames or hot elements. Induction cooktops will start only
once the appropriate cookware has been placed on the surface and stops
immediately when the cookware is removed. No more burned fingers or hands
and safer around young children.
Energy Efficient
Conventional cooking methods involve generating heat which is then
transferred to cookware. With induction cooking, there is almost no wasted
heat since heat is being generated in the cookware itself. Also, because there
are no open flames or hot elements releasing heat into your kitchen, your
kitchen stays cooler.
What can I cook on an induction cooker?
What you can cook on an induction cooker is no different than what you can
cook with gas, an electric coil or any other form of heat. There are no special
recipes or cookbooks.
Portable induction cookers are ideal for everyday use. They can also be used
for camping, cottages, dorm rooms and offices. They can be used any place a
stove is not available or an extra cooking surface is required.
Induction cooking is very powerful. By far the most common problem with new
users is that they don’t realize how quickly the pot generates heat, causing
food to burn or overcook. We recommend that you ‘practice’ using the
induction cooker with a pot/pan of water and bring it to a boil several times
using different amounts of water and different temperature/power settings to
familiarize yourself with how quickly water can come to a boil. In a very short
time you will become familiar with your induction cooker and enjoy its
fast, clean, safe and energy efficient features.
